Teen sisters in jet ski crash were warned about dangerous behavior by cops moments before fatal collision
Two teenage sisters who lost control of a jet ski and crashed into a concrete dock in Florida were warned about safety by officers just moments before the tragic accident. Rachel Aliza Nisanov, 13, of New York, was riding a jet ski with her 16-year-old sister, Aviva, in the waters of Fort Lauderdale this week when the watercraft suddenly veered out of control and crashed into a dock, according to NBC 4 News. The tragic accident claimed Rachel's life and left Aviva hospitalized in a critical but stable condition. On Friday, officials revealed that Marine Unit officers had spoken with the sisters just moments before the fatal crash, engaging in a 'proactive' conversation about water safety, according to WSVN News. As officers were en route to another call, they noticed the girls' Yamaha personal watercraft commit a minor violation, prompting them to stop the sisters on the water, as reported by the outlet. Although officials did not specify the nature of the violation, they described the stop as 'brief and proactive in nature'. But because officers were responding to another call, no written report was filed and no body camera footage was recorded - and sadly, disaster struck just minutes later. 'I want to make sure we get to the bottom of this,' the sisters' father, Rabbi Shlomo Nisanov of Queens' Bukharian Jewish community, told WPLG Local 10 News after his daughter's funeral. 'It's very troubling. I didn't come to Florida to bury my daughter,' he added in tears. 'I came to Florida to have a good time with her and now I have to take her back in a casket. It's not the way I imagined my vacation.' On Tuesday, Rachel was enjoying a surprise family trip to celebrate her eighth-grade graduation. She was behind her older sister at the controls with their parents and an instructor on a separate jetski. Florida law permits a 14-year-old to be on a personal watercraft as long as someone aged 16 or older is driving. But as the teens made their way back to shore along the Intracoastal Waterway near the 2800 block of Northeast 24th Court, the jet ski suddenly veered out of control. The Yamaha violently slammed into the dock ahead, launching both girls into the air before they rammed into the structure. Their father immediately jumped in despite not knowing how to swim. 'Their life jackets were on. They were lying flat,' the girls' brother Yonah Nisanov said. 'My father jumped in and scraped up his hands, feet, his back, all over to save them, and he did what he could.' 'I saw one of the girls being taken in a stretcher,' resident Renée Beninate told WSVN News. 'I didn't know it was a young girl at the time, but my heart still broke,' she added. Both girls were rushed to Broward Health Medical Center with life-threatening injuries. Rachel tragically succumbed shortly afterward, with the Broward County Medical Examiner determining that she died from blunt force injuries sustained in the collision, according to the outlet. Aviva underwent surgery Tuesday night and remains sedated in the hospital, listed in critical but stable condition, according to CBS News. 'They're going to try to wake her up soon and see how she's doing,' Yonah told the outlet. 'But right now, she's sedated.' Aviva (left) underwent surgery Tuesday night and remains sedated in the hospital, listed in critical but stable condition According to the preliminary report obtained by NBC, the the sisters 'jumped the wake of a passing vessel, lost control, and collided with a concrete dock. An investigation launched by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) remains ongoing. Rachel's body was swiftly flown back to New York, where she was honored with a funeral held Wednesday night at the Bukharian Jewish Community Center in Forest Hills, Queens. 'Parents are not supposed to bury their children. Children are supposed to bury their parents,' Shlomo tearfully said after the funeral, according to WPLG News. 'She was just a kind person,' Yonah told NBC. 'A spiritual person. Kindhearted, always going the extra mile.'

Aimee Betro: How a second bungled plot was hitwoman's downfall
Aimee Betro failed at her mission to assassinate her long-distance lover's rival - but in the days after her bungled attack, she still believed she could cover her tracks and evade police. The US woman, who had been on the run for five years, was this week found guilty of conspiracy to murder after trying to shoot dead a Birmingham businessman in 2019 as part of a revenge it was a second failed plot, alongside her co-conspirator, to frame an innocent English man for Betro's failed shootings that eventually led to her a post office in Illinois, Betro sent packages of ammunition and gun parts to that innocent party in Derby - and police in England did initially arrest him, suspecting him of being responsible.A series of mistakes, though, left a plethora of DNA and other evidence that gave the police and prosecutors a strong case against Betro - leaving her facing a lengthy jail term when she returns to court for sentencing next week. Betro, 45, had travelled to England from her home in West Allis, Wisconsin, to carry out a planned assassination that was conceived by co-conspirator Mohammed Nazir, whom she had met on a dating and his father Mohammed Aslam launched a vendetta after they were injured during disorder at bridal shop Seher Boutique on Alum Rock Road in July 2018, which was owned by businessman Aslat pair were so angered by the fight - reportedly over the price of a wedding suit - they set out for revenge against Mr Mahumad, recruiting Betro to though she had no obvious criminal background, she agreed - flying to the UK to kill a man she didn't know. On the night of the attack, Betro disguised herself in a niqab and laid in wait outside the Mahumad family home in Yardley, Birmingham. When Mr Mahumad's son Sikander Ali arrived at the property, she stepped out and attempted to shoot at point blank range. Her gun jammed or malfunctioned, and Mr Ali fled the scene the early hours of the following day, she returned to the scene and fired three times at the empty day after that, Betro left the UK and the second plan came into effect, with Nazir joining her back in the US as the pair hatched a plot to target another man. CCTV footage captured Betro at a post office in Palatine, Illinois, where she shipped off the illegal goods, using the false name M Chandler. As part of the scheme, Nazir also tipped off the police about the packages in order to frame the man in England to whom it was addressed. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said DNA evidence had played a "crucial part" in proving Betro's guilt and linked her to both the attempted attack in Birmingham and the ammunition DNA was found inside all three packages sent to frame the innocent Derby man, as well as on a black glove inside a Mercedes she had used as a getaway vehicle, following the attempted from both crime scenes were also compared and shown to be from the same person, the CPS confirmed. In separate proceedings to Betro, both Nazir, 31, and Aslam, 59, each from Derby, were jailed last year for conspiracy to faced trial this summer, ending up in a British court after a globetrotting international warrant for her arrest was issued by the UK in June 2024 and when law enforcement finally caught up with her, she had spent five years on the run. She was eventually tracked down in Armenia, where she was in hiding, and extradited to the week Betro was convicted of conspiracy to murder, possession of a firearm with intent and being knowingly concerned in the fraudulent evasion of a prohibition on the importation of Ali, on whom she had pulled the gun and tried to fire, was last year jailed for drugs and firearm offences unrelated to the incident in Birmingham. Det Ch Insp Alastair Orencas, from West Midlands Police, said an "incredible amount of work" had gone into building a picture of Betro's activities while she was in the explained how the Wisconsin native had posted pictures and videos of famous landmarks, in efforts to pass herself off as a tourist, when her real purpose was to commit murder."We worked really closely with partners such as the Armenian Government, NCA, FBI, Crown Prosecution Service and Derbyshire Constabulary to bring Betro back to the UK to face justice," he BBC has contacted the FBI for comment. John Sheehan, head of the CPS Extradition unit, said it was a "complex" investigation and extradition process which required bringing together multiple agencies."We worked together to make sure we had a watertight prima facie case in order to lawfully arrest Aimee Betro in a foreign country without her becoming aware and potentially fleeing again," he is due to be sentenced at Birmingham Crown Court on 21 August.

Yael finds out about the diagnosis and tries to console Gladys. The two end up sharing a kiss while the twins kill Maria and hang her up on a meat hook. The Episode Review So, Zurda and Maria were friends before all this? No wonder Cecilia tried to cause differences between them; both of them were too much for her to handle as a team. It seems that Marina had a poor excuse for parents and had to work hard throughout her life. Even from prison, Marina is earning an income by selling her body on the internet, which makes me feel sorry for her. It's hard to see Gladys find out about her possible cancer diagnosis, but I am glad she has Yael in her journey. Given the fact that she has had a hard time coping with the loss of her husband, I hope Gladys continues to keep the bond that she has with the other four inmates. It was sad to see Maria die, but Amparo is a bigger threat to everyone inside now. I really wish she hadn't been caught because things would have been so different inside the prison. Gladys would be the best replacement for Maria now that she is dead but I am not sure how open she would be to stepping into her shoes, given the diagnosis.
